Feet in Smoke

After reading Feet in Smoke I’m still wondering how unlucky you’d have to be to experience “death by microphone.”  The narrative was really entertaining.  The only times I think about getting electrocuted are when working on my car or if there’s a thunderstorm and I’m on a golf course.  I guess I never imagine surviving a situation that bad to consider the irony in resuscitation by means of death.  The story also brought up something else I’ve found interesting every since a good friend of mine was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder, the fact that one can “trip” without any external stimulus.  Both Julien and Worth seem kind of similar.   My friend thought that World of War Craft was made by the French to recruit Al-Quida members to destroy U.S.  but not in the conventional sense…he meant take down the government and create a hippie utopia.  He said the French admins of WOW told him to recruit soldiers to the cause.  Long story short, he got arrested and sent to the psych ward at OSU after screaming at a Middle Eastern shop owner for not admitting that he was in Al-Quida too.  Julien hasn’t remembered either of the manic episodes he’s had and so I had to fill him in.  Like Sullivan, I can laugh about it now but Julien doesn’t like to talk about it to this day.
